Chapter 438: Night Attack
The sun was about to set, and the last afterglow turned the sky a blood-red color, shining through the layers of clouds that had piled up, staining the earth with blood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Looks like there's going to be a heavy rain tonight!" said Captain Ian, who was in the Knights of Light camp, looking up at the sky, and muttered to himself. The Parisians had been urging themselves to speed up their march, but now it looked like they wouldn't be able to hurry up after a heavy rain tonight.
"It's okay, anyway, we still have to wait for the guys of the Knights of the Holy Judgment, if the Knights of Light take the Principality of Pritz independently, that Cardinal Archbishop of Owen will probably go crazy. Not...... Before the papal heir is decided, it is still not appropriate to offend!" Ian said as he paced slowly and thoughtfully. This is the helplessness of a corps commander, who has to consider not only military and strategic aspects, but also many political factors.
After nightfall, the camp finally fell silent after a long day of noise. When camping at night, it is not allowed to make loud noises, which is a very serious taboo in the army, and if anyone dares to violate it, it will inevitably usher in a heavy sentence.
The clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, completely enveloping the whole land, and the original bright moonlight was tightly obscured, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into infinite darkness. The humidity in the air is also getting heavier, and the hot and humid air is so dull that it is almost breathless.
Although the experienced regimental commander Ian did not neglect the garrison in the direction of the Main River when he arranged the patrol duty, the battalion defense officer on duty arranged most of the patrols in the other three directions, and only a few patrols in the direction of the Main River guarded the mile-long riverbank.
The lack of attention of the officers on duty naturally made these patrols think that the direction of the river bank was very safe, and when they patrolled, they all shook their heads and looked relaxed and relaxed. As a patrol walked past a bush, a dark shadow crept behind them from the bush.
A soldier at the end of the patrol suddenly felt a large hand suddenly cover his mouth and nose, and then his throat was cold, and the whole person knew nothing in front of him. The dark shadow gently lowered the soldier's corpse in his hand to the ground and quietly followed the patrol again.
It wasn't until the black shadow was released to nearly half of the patrol soldiers that the patrol leader walking in the line noticed that something was not quite right. Along the way, the footsteps seemed to become less and less, as if there were only a few people walking. The captain jerked back to see a man in a black leotard and a black mask, swinging a short blade at him.
"You ......" Captain was slashed in the throat with a single sound, but his movement also woke up several patrolmen walking in front.
Just when the patrolmen were horrified to find their captain and all their teammates behind them lying to the ground, they opened their mouths to shout a warning. It's a pity that just as they raised their heads and were about to scream, a black shadow appeared behind several people at the same time, and a wire cord strangled the warning sound in their throats and could no longer be heard.
After taking out this patrol with a few supporting ninjas, Momochi Yuki glared at the ninja who had previously carried out the assassination, and led the ninja army to continue the assassination patrol.
It didn't take long for all four patrols to disappear into the night, their bodies quietly thrown into the river. After making sure that nothing had been missed, Momochi Yukishige swam across the Main River and brought the news to Leo, who had already prepared on the other side of the river.
The White Horse Servants held their crossbows high in one hand to prevent the bowstrings from getting wet in the river, and with the other they controlled their horses, and cautiously waded through the Main River. More than 3,000 light riders swam across at the same time, and even if they were careful and gentle, they would inevitably make some noise.
In the barracks, a few hundred meters away from the riverbank, several shouts were heard, as if to inquire about the current situation of the patrol. It seems that the wading sound of the White Horse Servants has alarmed the soldiers on duty in the barracks.
Just after the White Horse Servants and the Rose Knights had mostly crossed the Main River, Leo shouted, "Raid!"
More than 3,000 horsemen urged their horses at the same time and accelerated towards the military camp of the Knights of Light. This loud shout made the soldiers on duty, who were already uneasy about the patrol's lack of reply for a long time, completely understand.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" shouted the soldier on duty, at the top of his voice. The mournful warning instantly pierced the silence of the night sky, and although the sharp sound was abruptly stopped by a sharp arrow, there was already a commotion in the barracks, and many knights of light rushed out of the tent with a knight's sword in their hands.
Most of these very alert and quick Knights of Light were captain-level official knights, and they were ready to meet the enemy as soon as they received the warning, but unfortunately they were greeted by sharp arrows with the sound of whistling wind.
For this night attack, the White Horse Yicong painted his arrows black. In the thick of the night, the knights of light could not distinguish the black arrows that broke through the air by the light of a few braziers around the tent, and by the time they heard the sound of the wind, the arrows were already in front of them.
Puff, puff, a burst of flesh-in-flesh sounds one after another, and a large number of Light Knights were shot to the ground.
"Armor! Everyone is armored!" several commands sounded at the same time, and the knights of light realized that without the protection of the knights' armor, they would not be able to defend themselves against the enemy's dark arrows. However, not everyone obediently returned to the camp to put on the armor, after all, the knight's armor was quite cumbersome to wear, and someone had to buy time for them.
"Shield of Light!" Some knights who are skilled in the art of Guardian Gods of Light cast shields for themselves and their colleagues, but due to the nature of light magic, their magic shields have a glowing glow, which is as obvious as a searchlight in this kind of night when they can't see their fingers.
When Leo, who led the White Horse Righteous Servant, saw the shield of the Knight of Light, he immediately broke off and shouted: "Change the magic arrow!"
Bai Ma Yi took out the keel of the bipedal wyvern from the quiver on his waist and fired it in a volley. The Knights of Light, who were hiding in the shields, did not expect that these sneak attackers were so well prepared, and even the precious Demon Breaker Arrows shot out like splashes of water.
When it comes to the most defensive magic system on the continent, the defense power of the Light Divine Technique or the various defensive magic of Light Magic is recognized as the first, which is also the main reason why although the Sect of Light is hated by the surrounding countries, no country dares to provoke it.
Fighting against a group of knights with shields of light was a nightmare. These Knights of Light are also known as the most helpless opponents, even if your strength is higher than that of the Knights of Light, but under the endless array of guardian magic, you can only be consumed alive by the Knights of Light.
Therefore, after the Knights of Light cast the Shield of Light, they were full of confidence one by one, and they all took the initiative to stand up and look around, wanting to see their opponents in the dark night.
